• Access Asia - Access Asia is a weekly presentation series at UC Irvine hosted by the Journal of Asian Studies that provides a venue for all things Asia-related, and generally has presentations from faculty members and graduate students (both UCI scholars and visitors from around the world). We like to keep presentations short (between 20 and 30 minutes) in order to leave plenty of time for discussion. Presentations are often about new research projects, draft articles/chapters/conference presentations, or fieldwork. Unfortunately, we have no funding for these activities and everything we do is volunteer.
  • AsiaMedia: Media News Daily - From UCLA’s Asia Institute comes this daily that covers issues from across Asia.
  • Asian media resources database - According to its creators, their “mission is to promote understanding of Asian cultures and peoples and to assist educators at all levels, from elementary schools to colleges and universities, in finding resources for learning and teaching about Asia.”  Asian Educational Media Service is a program at the Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Its catalog includes Asian-made videos.
  • Encyclopedia of Modern Asia (UCI-licensed access) - As part of an e-reference book collection for which UCI has licensed access (in the Gale Virtual Reference Library collection), the Encyclopedia of Modern Asia, edited by David Levinson and Karen Christenson (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 2002), is now accessible online to UCI users. All six volumes covering the typical topics in an encyclopedia (but focused on Asia) are now accessible to UCI faculty, students, and staff and to those who use the campus libraries on site.
  • New European Portal to Digital Archival Resources - Asian digitized resources are among the gems of this European Union digital endeavor, Europeana: Think Culture. Researchers can locate via format (video, images, audio, and text) of perhaps obscure but historical events or cultural artifacts. For example, there is clear footage (from a French archive) of the Japanese surrender in Hong Kong at the end of WWII. There are also numerous images, texts or video clips on China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
  • UCI Asian Studies faculty publications profiled in Asian Studies subject - Asian Studies librarian Ying Zhang, has compiled a comprehensive list of UCI Asian Studies faculty publications, many with links to the full-text version. The list is arranged by area studies: Chinese studies, Japanese studies, and Korean studies, but covers faculty across disciplines. The list appears in a section of Zhang's subject guide on Asian studies.
